U.S. warns its citizens in Tanzania before anti-gay crackdown

In an alert on its website late on Saturday, the U.S. Embassy in Tanzania advised Americans to review their social media profiles and internet footprints. "Remove or protect images and language that may run afoul of Tanzanian laws regarding homosexual practices and explicit sexual activity," it said. The alert said any U.S. citizen who was detained or arrested should ensure the Tanzanian authorities informed the embassy.
